Okay, since I added a new person, I had to change some things around, so I hope I don't make anyone too OOC. Let me know what you think, and I will keep writing more chapters.
I leaned on the rail of the white yacht while I thought to myself, why on earth was I on this boat heading for a reality show. Oh yeah, my mother thought it would be a great idea. I smiled to myself since it was a good idea because I don't have to spend the whole summer at home with my insane family, but still, was it worth being with 22 other teens as we all make complete asses out of ourselves. At the same time, cameras get it all on tape only to have it play on tv where everyone in the world can see who stupid we are? Well, as of now, I have no idea. As the boat continued its journey, I can faintly make out the dock of an island. I pushed a few strains of raven-colored hair that fell from my messy bun. I became very nervous. I started to bit my lower lips, a slight nervous tic I had since I was a little girl. My fair skin looked a bit paler, making my vivid blue eyes even brighter, if that was even possible.
I remember what my mother said to me just before I left home. She hated the way I dress, so today was the same thing as every day. I choose to wear a black t-shirt with white writing that said "To Write Love On Her Arm," Tripp Black Pyramid Stud Dark Street Pants, black and white Converse All Star Low Tops. She started with, " You shouldn't wear such things. Wear something more ladylike. Maybe something from American Eagle." then I will come up with something along the lines of "I do, but I like stuff from Hot Topic and Spencer." and with that, I turned and walked out the door. Yeah, I am not ever close with my mom. I am a total daddy's girl, and I love it. He calls me a girly boy because I am tough and I love sports, but I can still be girly with my hair and stuff like that.
Finally, the yacht pulled up to the dock. Once I got my bags, I walked off onto the dock and was greeted by the host, Chris.
"You must be Raven. Welcome to Total Drama Island," he said as she shook my hand.
"Thanks," I said as I let go and walked over to the other campers.
"Ok, first things first, we need a group shot for the promos. Everyone at the end of the dock." Chris said as he waved us over to the end of the dock.
/I have a horrible feeling about this./ I thought as I walked over and stood next to this guy with black and green hair while Chris jumped up to the bow of the yacht.
"Ok, 1. 2. 3," he said as he clicked the picture after three.
"Oops. OK, forgot the leans cap.," he said as he clicked the button for the lens cap. "Ok, hold that pose." I looked straight ahead with no smile.
"Ok 1. 2. 3.…. Oh, wait, cards full. Hang on." he said. I let out a small sigh.
"What is with this guy," I muttered as I said that another girl said.
"Come on; no, my face is starting to freeze." Said the girl with the tan shorts with what looked like apples or something on the front of it. I got here too late to get their names.
"Ok, got it now everyone says Wawanakwa," he said as he was really to take the picture.
"Wawanakwa." everyone said in unison as we said that we all heard a cracking sound before we could do anything about it; the dock fell out from under us, sending all of us down into the water below as Chris snapped the picture. As we surfaced, we all looked at Chris.
"Ok, guys dry off and meet at the camper fire pit in ten," he said. I glared at him. Somehow I think he planed this because he didn't look shocked at all when the dock broke. It's going to be a long summer; I thought as I swam ashore.
~After Drying off ~
We all meet at the camper fire pit. As I sat down, I heard the girl next to me say.
"I bet he plans that." I turned to look at her. She was a little bit paler than I am. Her hair was black with green highlights in it. Her lipstick matched her highlights. She wore a black shirt with green and blue sleeves and a black and green skirt. Black leggings with black knee-high boots. Totally kick-ass.
"So I am not the only one who thinks that.." I said as I smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Yeah, he was not surprised when we fell, so he had to have done something to the dock," she said.
"Yeah, he probably did. I'm Raven; by the way, nice to meet you." I said as I held out my hand to her. She took it.
"I'm Gwen. Same here." She said she let go of my hand and turned back around as Chris began to speak to the group.
"This is camp Wawanakwa. Your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends. Ya dig. The camper who mangers to stay on total drama island the longest without getting voted off will win one hundred thousand dollars." he explained to us. The guy with black and green hair walked out to the front of the group.
"Excuse me, what will the sleeping arrangements be because I would like to request a bunk under her," he said, pointing to a preppy-looking girl. /What a pig, but a cute pig. / I thought.
"They're not co-ed, are they?" The preppy girl asked Chris.
"No, girls get one side of each cabin, and dudes get the other," he said. I sighed. /well, I lest I don't have to sleep with one eye open tonight./ I thought as a blond good with a look on her face that screamed airhead raised her hand and said.
"Excuse me, Kyle, can I get a cabin with a lake view since I'm the prettiest," she said. Well, I guess the way she looks speaks volumes because that had to be the shallowest thing I have ever heard anyone say. I guess she must be the dumb blond here.
"Ok, you are, but that is not really how it works here, and it's Chris," he said. OK, now that was just wrong. Then another girl spoke up.
"Ok, I have to live with Sadie, or I'll die." She said as she grabbed Sadie's hand. They both had their hair in pigtails. Both had off-the-shoulder black and white tops that showed off their mid-drift, and both had pink short shorts on, and their shoes were pink as well. There was no way they could be twins. They looked nothing alike. The girl who spoke up hand tan skin and was very skinny compared to her look-alike, who was a little on the lighter side and was very brave to wear that kind of shirt with her shape. I can see that those two will be getting on my last nerve with their whole twin act going on.
"And I'll break out in hives. It's true," said Sadie. OK, I don't really think that could happen.
"This can not be happening," Gwen said as she rested her head on her hand. I turned to look at her.
"I'm afraid so. I don't think it could be any sapper than that. I hope that both of them will be on any team I'm not on because I would never want to hear them together." I said with a broad face.
"I second that one." She said with a smile as both of us turned around as a big guy grabbed both of us in a headlock.
"Ewwww, come on, guys. It'll be fun. It's like a big sleepover." he said.
"At least we don't have to sleep next to him," I said, looking at Gwen when I saw out of the corner of my eye the green-haired guy had a deer in a headlock and was giving him a nookie. How in the world did he even get a deer to come near him, much less give it a nookie—poor thing. Gwen saw where I was looking and then looked back at me with a look that said I am thinking the same thing you are.
"Here's the deal we are going to spill you into two teams," he said as he took out a list. "If I call your name out, go stand over there," he said, pointing over to the other side of the camper fire pit. I took this time to find out who some of these people are.
"Gwen, Raven, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Owen, Le Shawna, Justin, and Noah. From this moment on, you are officially known as," he said as she threw us a green sheet which Owen caught and unfurled to revile what looked like to be a bad drawing of a chipmunk. "The Screaming Gofers." I would have rather gone with the chipmunk.
"Yeah, I'm a gofer. Wow." Owen said with a huge smile.
"Wait, what about Sadie." Katie cried out as she looked at Sadie.
"The rest of you over here, Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Tyler, Sadie, Izzy, Courtney, Ezekiel, Duncan, Eva, and Harold. Move. Move. Move. " Chris barked at them. Sadie stayed next to Courtney.
"But, Katie is a gofer. I have to be a gofer." She whined. God, could those two grow the hell up a bit. Courtney leaned over and put a hand on Sadie's shoulder.
"Sadie is it. Come on; it'll be ok." She said as she began to lead Sadie away. While she saw saying this was unfair. Well, you know what, life is not fair. Katie started to cry about missing Sadie. At the same time, Chris named the team Killer Bass.
"Alright, campers. You and your team will be on camera in all public areas during this completion. You will also share your innermost thoughts on tape with video dairies any time your want. Let the people back home know what you are really thinking or get something off your chest.." he explained to us and let each of us take a turn to say something on the video dairy. When it was my turn, I just looked at the camera and said.
"This sucks too far, and it will just keep on sucking till someone wins. Wow, what in the world did I get myself into? Whatever." I said as I got up and left.
"Alright, any questions?" Chris asked us. When no one raised their hands, he when on. "Cool. Les, find your cabins," he said as he turned around and began walking away as we all followed him. He walked till we ended up in front of two cabins.
"Gofers, you are in the east cabin. Bass, you are in the west," he said, pointing to each cabin. The teams split up and went to their cabins. Heather opened the door to your cabin and seen that we had bunk beds.
"Bunk beds? Isn't this a little summer camp," she said as she stood in the doorway with Gwen right behind her.
"That's the idea, genius," Gwen said as she pushed past Heather.
"Shut up, weird Goth girl." Heather snapped at Gwen as the rest of us walked into the cabin. Cody walked up to Gwen.
"You're so smart. I feel that" he said. The look on Gwen's face was priceless.
" Shouldn't you be on the boy's side," she said as she turned around and put her hands on her hip to look at Cody. Cody just smiled at her. She then picked him up and threw him from the cabin right past Le Shawna. I walked over to Gwen.
"Looks like someone has a crush on you already," I said as I pick the bunk next to her.
"Don't even start there, Rae." Said she as she began to unpack. I laughed a little and also began unpacking. As Gwen and I walked out of the cabin, we passed Lindsay, who had another oh-so-brighten question for Chris.
"Where are the outlets I have to pug in my stringing iron," she said.
"There are some in the communal bathrooms. Just across the way," he said as he pointed to what I would call a shack.
"Communal bathrooms? But, I'm not catholic," she said. Man, she better hope her looks never fade, or else she will have no way to get through life.
"Not communion. Communal," he stressed out for her. I still don't think she got it.
"It means we shower together, idiot," I said as I walked past her and sat down on the steps. I watched her eyes get big.
"Oh no, come on." She began to cry. I saw Trent, Owen, and Noah all come out of their cabin to see what was going on. I head Owen say.
" I am so glad we are in our own cabin with just us guys. You know what I mean." he laughed. Trent and Noah gave him a look. I think they think he is gay, which is what I thought where I saw him too.
" I mean, no, I didn't mean it like that. I love chicks. I don't want to sleep near them. I mean….." he said as he laughed as Trent and Noah went back into the cabin with a ranting Owen behind them. All of a sudden, and blood-curling scream came from our cabin. Every camper rushed over to see what was the matter. As we all looking inside, we saw Lindsay on a stool screaming her blond head off over a little tree roach.
"Man, that white girl can scream." Le Shawna said. We all walked into the cabin. When DJ saw the roach, he let out a girly scream and climbed into one of the top bunks. Oh my god, now I have seen it all a guy who screams like a girl over a small bug that will do nothing to them. I rolled my eyes. A few others and I tried to stomp on the roach as it passed us by, but it was a little too fast for us all. It wasn't till Duncan got an ax and chopped the roach in half did most of the girls and DJ calmed down. He turned to look at me.
"Your safe now, babe," he said with a smirk as he straightened up. I rolled my eyes.
"I wasn't in danger from a cockroach that wouldn't do anything to me, and my name isn't, babe. It's Raven." I said as I turned my back on him and walked out of the cabin.
